our writing topic for term 3 is: Matuu Horihori
Synthetic Drugs
The news has been rife lately with lots of people dying from the use of a new synthetic drug.
we started by brainstorming the news items and looking at the problem and possible solutions. Students start discussing the effects of the new drug and discuss some possible substances that might be mixed in the new drug. From this students decide on a criteria of questions that they can probe to help understand the issue for young people in more depth.
The outcome is that students will write a report about the effects this may have on young rangatahi such as themselves. Identify some of the harmful long term effects and dangers and what processes are available to support young people out there. Kia kaha koutou.
.We are currently building up appropriate vocab and phrases in Te Reo Maori that the students can use in their writing pieces.
